A Big Week for the United States

After months of campaigning, debating, mud throwing, shaking hands and kissing babies--Barack Obama and John McCain will finally come head to head in the 2008 presidential election. This is a big election for the beef industry, as the elected candidate will make major decisions pertaining to agriculture during their four years of service. Even though neither candidate has proven himself as a well-educated and well-versed man as far as agriculture issues go, both will help to pass legislation that will impact our industry, for the better or for the worse.
